Looking to get clear on the best AI happenings in London this month?
Here’s our pick. We like the ones that are a bit more creative, or human.
Hopefully you agree.
3 October - 19 December,
Gazelli Art House, 39 Dover Street, London W1S 4NN
​
This major group exhibition features nine internationally recognised artists who work critically with algorithms, datasets, and machine learning. Artists include Memo Akten, Nouf Aljowaysir, Morehshin Allahyari, Brendan Dawes, Jake Elwes, Entangled Others (Feileacan Kirkbride McCormick and Sofia Crespo), Primavera De Filippi, Auriea Harvey, and Aziza Kadyri. The exhibition challenges prevailing narratives around AI, focusing on artists who slow the process and critically engage with AI's biases, limitations, and possibilities. The artworks encompass sculpture, print, video, and even encoded DNA. Three distinctive approaches emerge across the exhibition: addressing colonial legacy and biases in AI models, exploring parallels between data and the natural world, and satirizing Big Tech's version of AI while prompting reflection on our interactions with technology. Many works are "phygital" - pairing digital artwork with physical components authenticated through blockchain certification technology.
3 December, King's College London / Alan Turing Institute
​
This monthly research seminar showcases innovative AI research at King's College London. The December session features Dr Georgia Richards discussing "Harnessing open data to track preventable deaths" in public health. The seminar is part of a series exploring diverse AI research spanning disciplinary boundaries, from race and technology to computational biology to public health data. These seminars hear directly from leading experts at King's College London about advancing AI research across diverse fields. The presentations showcase innovative approaches that cross traditional academic boundaries, demonstrating how AI is being applied to address real-world challenges. All seminars are online, free to attend, and open to everyone interested in hearing from experts about research in, for, and with AI at King's.
3-5 December, British Library, London
​
AI4LAM's annual conference focused on advancing the use of artificial intelligence in, for and by libraries, archives and museums. This international conference brings together colleagues from around the world with interest and experience in AI and Machine Learning technologies applied to cultural, research and heritage collections. Includes practitioners in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) sector, Digital Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and Data, Information and Computer Science researchers in Higher Education.

9 December, Science Gallery London, Great Maze Pond, SE1 9GU​
​
This panel discussion explores what the future of ageing looks like in the world of AI and whether cutting-edge technologies will revolutionize healthcare and close the gap between health span and lifespan. Broadcaster, journalist, and author Lara Lewington (author of "Hacking Humanity," Penguin 2025) joins health and ageing experts for a conversation about how today's most exciting innovations will pave the way for tomorrow's healthcare revolution. The panel includes Professor Prokar Dasgupta (Foundation Professor of Surgery for King's Health Partners and first Professor of Robotic Surgery and Urological Innovation at King's), Professor Georgina Ellison-Hughes (Professor of Regenerative Muscle Physiology focusing on biological ageing and cell senescence), and Svitlana Surodina (CEO of OPORA Health and Entrepreneur in Residence with Ageing Research at King's). This discussion appeals to all those with an interest in artificial intelligence and how we might harness its powers to live longer and happier lives. Part of the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence's AI Conversations series.

2 December, InterContinental - The O2, London​
​
The Agentic AI Summit focuses on building powerful, value-driving agentic AI systems. This summit unites Europe's applied builder community with over 400 attendees and 60+ speakers, including representatives from Lovable, Synthesia, and OpenAI. Participants will address critical challenges in infrastructure, data layer, deployment, and regulation while validating ideas and deploying cost-effective agents. The event emphasises practical implementation and networking within the engineering leadership community.
26 September-14 December, Goldsmiths CCA, University of London
This major exhibition features London-based artist Lawrence Lek’s cinematic universe where AI entities are protagonists - from a satellite aspiring to be an artist to a troubled self-driving car in rehabilitation. Through films, games and installations, Lek examines what it means to exist alongside machine consciousness, positioning AI as both alien and deeply integrated into future society.
